    Wait until you see part 4. That will REALLY piss you off. Very staggering stuff going on. My guy wasn't remotely interested in a healthier lifestyle. He caught most of part 4 of the series (I hid the remote because I wanted to watch it) and even he was pissed about the facts shown. Time to wake up and smell the coffee people, the government is not your friend, and cares nothing about your health.
    I still have to watch it. Been busy, but Sunday I should be able to catch up.

    saw it and it was jaw dropping to say the least. I still have it on dvr just to remind me what I'm tryn to avoid. A must "SEE" by all if nothing else...to make you aware of choices that we make as a whole.

    I have been watching it. Really interesting. Especially the Challenges and Children in Crisis segments. Seeing the way advertisers push the most unhealthy foods on the public and the correlations between the environmental factors and the rise in the obesity epidemic is a huge eye opener.

    Yeah gotta say that advertising has such a HUGE impact on how food is actually sold. Though adults aren't probably affected as much as young adults, teens and kids are who plead parents to buy what they see on TV and other advertisements.

    Just saw part 1. Very sobering stuff but towards the end I saw the doctor holding a model of 5 lbs of fat. I'd seen it before but it's great motivation to lose extra weight and really make you realize how even losing a little bit is a big help.
